Inspired by chinese ink

An installation by artist Ma Wen on display in Beijing pays tribute to what has been the main medium of expression and communication for centuries in China

Handcrafted pieces of glass of various sizes in the shape of clouds hang above a reflecting pool filled with Chinese ink. The flickering lights create shadows in the high-ceiling gallery.

This is the latest installation work, titled Seeing Mountain As Mountain, by artist Ma Wen, which is being exhibited at the Ink Studio in Beijing.
